How the EA works
In the first scenario, EA will open a position. If it goes in favor of the position direction, it will close and open a new position at the reversal signal.
In the second scenario, if the trend goes against the entry, what will happen? The EA will open a position to the opposite direction when the trend reverses. It will lock the floating loss. Then, the EA will check if the trend will continue and open a hedging position to cover the loss.
How the EA Manage Risk
Problem
: Okay, the EA now locked the floating loss and opened a hedge position, but the hedge did not go in the desired direction. The EA now is experiencing further losses, what will the EA do now?
Solution: The EA now checks for the maximum symbol percent drawdown. Once a currency reaches the threshold (10% drawdown by default), the EA automatically checks the entire account for profitability. Assuming the EA is attached to multiple currencies, some positions may be in profit. In this scenario, the overall account will be indirectly hedged by different currency positions. It is crucial not to change the magic number and trade comment when attaching the EA to multiple currencies, as doing so will render this approach ineffective.
Problem
: Okay, now the EA did not reach the breakeven point to close all positions. What will happen now?
Solution: This is why I recommend to always start small. Such scenarios can occur in all Expert Advisors. In this case, the maximum account percent drawdown will come into play. I have tested the EA with the same settings for all forex pairs, and while nothing was wiped out, the highest drawdown observed was around 50%. That is also why I set the minimum drawdown to 60%. If, by chance, you were using the EA during that specific date and time and only trading that particular pair, you would definitely survive. However, for me, it is possible to be completely wiped out in that situation if the risk is too high. We can avoid this by leveraging the concept of indirect hedging using the max symbol percent drawdown function.

Gentle reminder
: As a fellow trader and product seller, I’ve encountered numerous wiped out accounts, which is why I place a great emphasis on risk management. Rather than seeking an Expert Advisor that generates quick profits but swiftly wipes out the account, it is far more advantageous to opt for an EA that consistently generates profits over time. Remember, the key lies in maintaining a steady and sustainable approach to trading, ensuring long-term success and safeguarding your hard-earned capital.
